Gutenberg characters Bud Davenport and Doug Simon show up for a podcast with Joel and hijack his interview. In the musical, Bud and Doug pitch songs to Broadway producers. Here, they are looking for casting advice for the Broadway production, and ask the one guy in town who sees them all. Except, Bud and Doug have only seen one Broadway show, back in ’97, so confusion ensues as Joel tosses out suggestions and puns.

And yes, Matt and Andrew can sing, as you can hear here with ‘I Can’t Read’, ‘Gutenberg’, and Tomorrow Is Tonight’, backed by Charles Johnson on piano.

Thanks, Joel! We hereby grant you honorary “Landless Nutjob” status for playing along with us. Recording that podcast with you was a blast!

We have a link to this podcast online at http://www.landlesstheatrecompany.org, and if you enjoyed our “Scientology Pageant” youtube promo, you can check out our equally ridiculous Gutenberg promo.

Here’s my cast list for a “Landless Broadway Dream Cast” – using actors from past Landless productions. Just a little “shout out” to some of the fabulous actors who have stopped through on the way!

Johann Gutenberg – AARON REEDER (from BATBOY; cuz he’s awesome! look for him in Jerry Springer at Studio Secondstage!)
Helvetica – RENEE RABEN (from YOURS TRULY, JACK THE RIPPER; if you saw the show, you know why she’s PERFECT for this role)
Monk – ALEX ZAVISTOVICH (from CANNIBAL and many others; who else could play the evil monk but our most usual “villain?”)
Young Monk – JOHN-PAUL PIZZICA (from ALGERNON; I mean, with a name like that, who else?)
Drunk #1 – ALLY JENKINS (from CARRIE POTTER and many others; check out the video!)
Drunk #2 – JOHN GEOFFRION (from CANNIBAL; Just because I know he will make me laugh.)
The Old Black Narrator – JULIE HERBER (from NINE; she’s not black or old, but I’ve never seen a role she couldn’t do!)
Flower Girl – TIMOTHY R. KING (from PSYCHO BEACH PARTY, CANNIBAL and others; all he would need to do is recreate “Chicklet!”)
The Bootblack – RUSS HUARD (from MISERY and others; His speaking voice is perfect!)
Daughter – KILEY MULLIGAN (from SCIENTOLOGY PAGEANT; she was just too cute for words!)
The Beef Fat Trimmer – STUFF N D’CLOTH (From GLASS MENDACITY; the only actor who could do justice to this role.)
Woman, Another Woman, Other Women – Too many to name!
Gutenberg’s Friend – JASON WILSON (from JACK and BATBOY; I just want to hear him sing the “Jellybean song”)
Doctor – BOB LAVERY (from GODZILLA and ALGERNON; he looks like a real doctor)
Billy – MATT MACIS (from BATBOY; so we can work in a Michael Jackson dance solo!)
